Idiots Seeking Village: Trailer

Do you ever wonder what you would have done during some unprecedented world event? You’re doing it right now.  Too often we find ourselves feeling crushed because we can't stop seeing the obvious bullshit. Endless wars, people dying because they can't afford insulin, literally cooking the planet for quarterly profits; there's a trillion-dollar industry specifically designed to leave us feeling this way.  If you are here, remember this. It isn't working on you.  Being challenged makes us uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable makes us uncertain. Uncertainty allows for discomfort which in turns allows you to start to manifest something worthwhile. Discomfort can be insightful, instructive, and invite you to think differently about the world around you.   The fundamental truth of the world is that it is something we made. We could just as easily make it differently using intellectual curiosity, self awareness, and empathy as forms of resistance.   And that resistance is proof that the system is brittle. The machinery of distraction exists because your natural human response to suffering is empathy. And empathy, it turns out, is bad for those in power.  Every time you refuse to look away, every small act of giving a damn when you're supposed to be numb, you're pushing the lines forward. Your discomfort isn't weakness. It's the frontier of something better trying to break through. It's your mind refusing to accept that this broken world is all that's possible. Deep down we know something better exists.  The present is ugly, the future unwritten. Here we’re focused on telling the stories of the world around us. Understanding why and how the world was made, so we can start to resist and think differently, to create a better world for ourselves and those who come after us.
